    CPU and System Topology

    Server Description

    A balanced multi-core virtual machine featuring substantial local SSD storage and a high vCPU count for parallelized general-purpose workloads.

    General PurposeStorage & Database

    Microsoft Azure D48_v3 is a general-purpose virtual machine from the Dv3 family, utilizing the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. It is equipped with an x86_64 Intel Xeon E5-2673 v4 processor featuring 48 vCPUs, 24 physical cores, and a 2.3 GHz clock speed. The system includes 192.0 GB of RAM and 1229 GB of local SSD storage, with no GPU accelerators. Performance benchmarks indicate a distinct tradeoff: single-core performance is poor, ranking in the bottom 10%, whereas multi-core performance, memory bandwidth, and database operations consistently achieve average tier results. This resource profile offers qualitative cost efficiency for highly parallelized workloads on established hardware. It is best suited for multi-threaded general-purpose applications, static web serving, software compilation, and database operations that can leverage the high core count and local SSD storage, rather than single-threaded or intensive AI inference tasks.

    Workload Profiles

    1.2Score
    Precomputed compound score for Cache Intensive workloads. A weighted average (geometric mean) of benchmark scores compared to their medians: score = ∏ (x_i / m_i)^(w_i / Σw). The score of 1.0 represents a synthetic baseline server with the median performance of each component benchmark; 0.5 means roughly half the performance; and 2.0 means twice the performance of that reference profile. Component weights: 50% Redis RPS (pipeline=1, SET), 20% Redis RPS (pipeline=16, SET), 10% PassMark Memory Mark (composite), 10% Memory bandwidth (read, 16 MB ~ L3), 10% PassMark single-thread CPU. Rationale for component selection: In-memory key-value store workload, mixing direct Redis performance metrics with memory speed and latency benchmarks, and single-core CPU performance profiles.
